I was born in Poonch (Kashmir) and now I live in Norway. I oppose war and violence and am a firm believer in the peaceful co-existence of all nations and peoples. In my academic work I have tried to espouse the cause of the weak and the oppressed in a world dominated by power politics, misleading propaganda and violations of basic human rights. I also believe that all conscious members of society have a moral duty to stand for and further the cause of peace and human rights throughout the world.

Gora
propagated atheism as a positive way of life. He toured extensively in
India and went round the world in 1970 and again in 1974.

He undertook many practical programmes to fight against social,
economic and political inequalities and injustices. He conducted
satyagraha campaigns before and after Independence and went to gaol many
a time. As a social revolutionary, he took up programmes for the
eradication of caste and untouchability and fought against superstitions
and blind beliefs. Gora’s life was a saga of struggle for the
propagation of atheism.

Gora was a prolific writer. He wrote extensively in Telugu and
English on atheism for more than four decades. In this book we are
publishing a collection of his articles written in The Atheist, between 1969-75. They deal with diverse aspects.

Atheist Centre intends to publish the select writings of Gora in
English and Telugu. Already more than twenty books have been published.
With the cooperation and support of innumerable friends, we wish to
publish all other writings soon.
